I would like to believe the same, but you have to remember they are giving "some band with zero draw" TWO performances in ONE day. Pea, you just aren't appreciating how special this is dood. Ain't no other festival gettin' the Brwoops PLUS the Brwoops playing music they probably aren't really good at, in the same day! That's for real! Sasquatch, Friday day, One band, Two times in a day, Thought they couldn't play mexican music? Thought fuckin' wrong! Watch that shit! Watch that shit on its very own special stage! We got stage hands and all for this once in a life time magix! Fuckin' hilarious!

If you do I would do it soon so you have time to break them in... again about two or three weeks, you do have to retrain yourself how to walk around in them. Maybe it's just me and my partner, but whenever we have them on we just want to run and jump off of everything... It's quite enjoyable to perpetuate that adolescent mindset, that's the only reason why I got her a pair too, so we can run around like little kids in the adult wonderlands, like Sasquatch.

So completely forgot about this thread, but I'm assuming nothing came out of it... I still think this has to be the winner, with The Jacksons, Snow, and The Beach Boys. 1. The Jacksons 2. The Beach Boys 3. Marilyn Manson 4. Three Dog Night 5. Snow (Canadian Reggae Superstar extraordinaire) 6. Rick Springfield I'm so ashamed of my list

There aren't really any that they make specifically designed to be waterproof and able to be used out of water, which is the only downside in my opinion. But you never have to worry about losing them, or them falling off, which happens to some, if you're already ok with flip-fops/sandals/crocs, getting wet, and by proxy your foot, then when your foot gets wet wearing these, that shouldn't upset you either.
The benefit to these, (mainly during the day,) if the shoe gets wet, and the begins to dry it always feels like a mini refrigerated units for my feet. At night I tend to wear the special toe-socks for them, and though I may feel moisture coming in from either a drink or random liquids, my foot tends to stay warm, and it will dry in the shoe, (essentially I've never experienced that wierd chaffing, sticky feeling you get when your sock gets wet.)

Vibram's Five Finger Shoe's, that's the KSO model, (Just KSO, not the Trek or the Sport,) You can go to their website or REI. They're generally not carried in most shoe stores, mainly specialty hiking, and outdoors stores, it's really hit and miss. You do really have to try them on first, because they are supposed to fit like a glove, so the standard, "wiggle room we generally give ourselves in normal shoes are painful mistakes in Vibrams. www.vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm

I know this was a few pages ago, but I've had a pair of Vibram's Five Fingers for a while now, and I would highly recommend them, especially if you're naturally flat footed. I have no arch, so the lack of support had usually made Chuck's my shoe of choice, but after a while even those give me that customary sharp pain in the center of my foot. Vibram's do take a few weeks to wear and retrain yourself, but if you love running around with no shoes, if you love barefeet, they're a great, (though somewhat pricy,) buy. They dry out pretty fast, they increase muscles which translates to stamina for alot of people. Douchy or whatever, (which may mean I'm just biased and live in a socially oblivious sect of the U.S.,) they're amazing if only for the fact that I truly forget I'm wearing them, plus the add ability of sensory perception that they come with, (i.e. feeling sand and rocks, and grass while wearing them) make for a very interesting experience. Aside from a National Show last October and an Interpol show in January I've worn these to all my other show going experiences, they stand up well, even with the sporadic foot.

Oh Pea, I have a special surprise for that night, so you'll see me... oh will you see me! I just think it's better to not let it out... But he's not on my Top 10 by any means, I think this will be my fourth Bassnectar show.

It makes sense to put the huge light-show-danceathon at the end....
I'm a little sad to see no P.O.S., but Har-Mar Superstar, (the caped big guy in the video,) is pretty fun to watch.

Well I guess they'll need a few years to ferment. I'm getting increasingly more excited for Tokyo Police Club, because when I first started going to their shows 4/5 years ago, they were really struggling, but little by little they've become better performers... I can only hope Radio Dept. to have a similar growth process.

Really? I feel that the whole idea of Gayngs revolves around late night. Oh yeah the entire album is baby makin' music at its finest.

Oh yeah, the vastness of their record alone is an amazing indication of the eclectic sounds that they pull from. They've been a favorite addition to the record collection this last year.

Radio Dept. is really bad live. I love their music, and the actual tunes didn't suffer that much live, but the showmanship was that of a couple teenagers too afraid to jump into a lake from a three foot lifted dock. I'm still glad I can say I saw them, since they rarely tour in the states, but don't expect much performance wise. That's highly unfortunate, they've definitely been one of the acts I've been looking forward to. Hell hopefully a festival scene will be enough adrenaline to the bloodstream to get it going.

Depending on what you were on... between an hour and an hour and a half, to three days give or take twenty minutes. I still have an afterglow from deadmau5's set last year. In reality about 90 minutes though. From 1130-1am give or take a few. Good call. To be honest I couldn't make it to the Booka Shade set last year, I had been on a "roller coaster," since The XX, and it didn't want to end until Mid-Monday around the Mountain Goats I always thought it was about an hour and a half set though, makes sense.
